Default setting

I don't usually pass around links to speeches or videos, but I think this would be similar to what I would say to h.s. and college graduates if I was a better writer & speaker and it's a way of thinking that I've worked on since before my injuries.

I'd love to read or hear your comments on this (Even if you think he's an idiot)
==================

I was not familiar with the speech or the speaker, but I think at that moment he "got it".
The strange thing is that he reportedly suffered from depression for most of his life and hanged himself at 46 yrs old - only 3 yrs after giving this speech.

I'm grateful that my default setting is much different than his, but I constantly work to stay aware.

The video on the first link did not work, though I read the speech on the second link. Interesting thoughts though sad to hear he hanged himself. I think drowning would have been more in theme (oops, dark turn)...need to let the water percolate a bit. :-)
